Performed by Rosaruby Kagan and Directed by Tanner Harvey, "Bunny Bunny: GILDA RADNER: A Sort of Love Story" is their stage abridgment of Alan Zweibel's book, by the same name. An homage to his long-time friend Gilda Radner, Zweibel's book recounts his "most cherished memories" in a melange of vignettes sketched in dialogue.

From 'complicated' beginnings during their Saturday Night Live heyday, to Gilda's battle against cancer, this new production tackles Zweibel's intimate memoir with a compassion and foolhardiness that's sure to affirm that, "the love and loyalty of a true friend may be the best kind of love there is." (Glenn Close, on Zweibel's original "Bunny Bunny")

Rosaruby Kagan grew up in the Mimbres Valley and showed a talent and love for theatre from a young age. At age 10 she started performing in Jack Ellis’s Western New Mexico University Theatre Productions. She also performed and took classes at the Broken Oak Center, Missoula Children’s Theatre and in her teens worked with the Virus Theatre before attending and graduating high school from Idyllwild Arts Academy, a performing arts boarding school in California. After high school she moved to New York to attend college and pursue her theatrical career. She has worked with numerous Theatre Companies producing and performing in New York City, Austin and most Currently in Montreal, where in 2007 she received her Masters in Drama Therapy. She recently founded her own Theatre Production Company Red Body Productions. “Bunny Bunny” is her third and most successful solo show having received Rave Reviews from Montreal audiences and critics alike.

Rosaruby is excited to be able to bring “Bunny Bunny” to her home town Silver City before she goes off to tour the show in Lawrence Kansas at Rubber Rep Theatre, and then to Victoria, British Columbia as part of the internationally recognized Uno Festival this May. “Bunny Bunny” will also be part of the 2014-15 Season at the Segal Center of Performing Arts, Montreal’s most distinguished English Theatre Venue.

"An entirely relatable experience made remarkable and special...Kagan so completely melts into Gilda's frame and face that a few times there I thought I was watching Gilda herself for a spell." - charp-canada.com
